Tends to be a bit more “fluffy” area of law where it is very people focused, and tends to attract more women (very similar to HR that tends to be very female dominated).
It is also an advisory practice area. Given these are typically not put under the same pressures as transactional teams, I think women tend to gravitate towards advisory teams for more of the work life balance. Women typically have more family commitments (and that’s not just kids) and so I suspect some women end up in advisory teams knowing it will suit their lifestyle better.
